Pacific Ocean

The Pacific Ocean is the largest ocean on Earth, covering 63,800,000 square miles (46% of Earth's water and 33% of the total surface area, larger than all of the land area combined). The ocean's favorable winds led to Ferdinand Magellan calling it the "pacific" ocean, as it was peaceful and helpful. It is located between Asia and Oceania to the west, North America and South America to the north and east, and Antarctica and the Southern Ocean to the south.
